A retreat for priests

The Liturgical Institute this summer - in this Year for Priests - will host a retreat for priests titled, "The Love of the Heart of Jesus: A Retreat for Priests Focused on the Sacred Liturgy," with retreat master Father Lawrence "Larry" Hennessey. I will be there.

Fr. Hennessey is both a deeply spiritual man and a most intelligent man. I looked forward to all his classes when I was the seminary because I always left with several gems.

The conferences given by Fr. Hennessey will include:
  • The Epiklesis of Forgiveness: Priests as Earthen Vessels
  • The Epiklesis of Prayer: Some Forms of Priestly Prayer
  • The Place of Devotions in Priestly Life
  • The Epiklesis of the Word: Trusting and Preaching the Power of the Word
  • The Epiklesis of Offering: A Theology of Call
  • The Epiklesis of Consecration: The Eucharist, Real Presence, Real Food
  • Some Operative Images of Priesthood
  • The Epiklesis of Communion: The Sacrifice of Committed Love
  • The Epiklesis of Mission: A Strategy for Living in Our Present Reality
